Welcome to the final module of the Dart Programming Course! In this module, you will apply the knowledge and skills you have acquired throughout the course to build a comprehensive project. This project will serve as a capstone to demonstrate your proficiency in Dart programming.
Objectives
By the end of this project, you will be able to:
- Design and implement a complete Dart application.
- Apply object-oriented programming principles.
- Utilize Dart collections and asynchronous programming.
- Handle errors and debug effectively.
- Integrate packages and libraries.
- Develop for web or mobile using Dart and Flutter.
Project Description
You will create a Task Management Application. This application will allow users to:
- Add, edit, and delete tasks.
- Mark tasks as completed or pending.
- Categorize tasks into different projects.
- View tasks by project or due date.
- Persist data locally.
Project Requirements
Functional Requirements
-
Task Management
- Users should be able to create, read, update, and delete tasks.
- Each task should have a title, description, due date, and status (completed or pending).
-
Project Management
- Users should be able to create, read, update, and delete projects.
- Each project should have a name and a list of associated tasks.
-
Task Filtering and Sorting
- Users should be able to filter tasks by project and due date.
- Users should be able to sort tasks by due date and status.
-
Data Persistence
- The application should save tasks and projects locally so that data is not lost when the application is closed.
Non-Functional Requirements
-
User Interface
- The application should have a user-friendly interface.
- Use Flutter for building the UI if you are developing a mobile application.
-
Performance
- The application should be responsive and handle large numbers of tasks efficiently.
-
Error Handling
- The application should handle errors gracefully and provide meaningful error messages to the user.
Project Milestones
To help you manage your time and ensure you cover all aspects of the project, here are the suggested milestones:
-
Milestone 1: Setting Up the Project
- Initialize a new Dart or Flutter project.
- Set up the project structure and necessary dependencies.
-
Milestone 2: Implementing Core Features
- Implement task and project management features.
- Ensure CRUD operations for tasks and projects are functional.
-
Milestone 3: Enhancing the User Interface
- Design and implement the user interface.
- Ensure the UI is intuitive and user-friendly.
-
Milestone 4: Adding Data Persistence
- Implement local data storage to persist tasks and projects.
- Test data persistence to ensure data is saved and loaded correctly.
-
Milestone 5: Testing and Debugging
- Thoroughly test the application for bugs and issues.
- Debug and fix any problems that arise.
-
Milestone 6: Final Review and Submission
- Review the entire project to ensure all requirements are met.
- Prepare the project for submission.
Tools and Technologies
- Dart SDK: For writing the core logic of the application.
- Flutter SDK: If you are developing a mobile application.
- IDE: Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA, or Android Studio.
- Version Control: Git for version control and GitHub for repository hosting.
- Local Storage: Use packages like
shared_preferences
orhive
for data persistence.
Submission Guidelines
- Ensure your project is well-documented. Include comments in your code and a README file with instructions on how to run the application.
- Push your code to a GitHub repository and share the link.
- Submit a brief report (1-2 pages) summarizing your project, the challenges you faced, and how you overcame them.
Conclusion
This project is an excellent opportunity to showcase your Dart programming skills and create a functional application that you can add to your portfolio. Take your time to plan, implement, and test your application thoroughly. Good luck, and happy coding!
